Featuring toys from the world famous British toy manufacturer William Britain, as seen in the 1979 English, French, and German language mini catalogue. Britains are well known for producing durable and highly detailed painted toy figures, play sets, and vehicles, with sets such as the ‘Deetail’ line being much sought after by collectors in today’s vintage toy market.
On a personal note, as a child, I collected the Britains American Civil War soldiers, 7th Cavalry, Cowboys and Indians, and German Infantry figures. I also had one of the wagon and horses sets, and a selection of farm animals, and one of my brothers had numerous animals from the Wildlife range. This catalogue brings back a lot of happy toy memories 🙂
Thanks for looking into ‘Deetail’ with us 🙂

Crazy! When I looked at the wildlife, I wondered which are extinct, now.
When I think about it, I grew up blind as a bat. I wore thick glasses by grade 2.
No wonder miniature anything never appealed to me.
Hope you saw my answer to your comment on The Pollinators! Mailing time is getting close!

Funny. My eyesight has deteriorated as I’ve grown older and now I have reading glasses or else everything is a blur. Distance is still okay.
Yes! I just replied to your mailing message. Thanks! Hugs XxX

I was away from here for a bit. I did a post on Art Gowns, just as I got a request for a presentation. The presentation took me 10 long days, but I’m back!

They certainly do. I have three of those Waterloo figures which I picked up at a flea market a few years back. Here’s a pic: https://thevintagetoyadvertiser.org/britain-deetail-1974-waterloo/
